The Department of Education (DfE) in the UK has decided to drop several university degrees. In place of this, the UK government has introduced several new courses. This step was taken after several cases were coming of low employability.
The Office for Students (OfS) will be let know, in accordance with the plans, to restrict the number of students universities may enroll in such courses. On July 14, 2023, the prime minister and the secretary of education made this announcement.
Several low-yielding courses will end. The UK government has announced several new changes and skilling programmes to increase the workforce. This will result in more employability, which in turn will contribute to the economy.
Commenting on this, Akshay Chaturvedi, founder and CEO at Leverage Edu said, “This is a student-first move” by Rishi Sunak government. Adding onto this, the company has repeatedly “tried to raise their voice against shady courses and colleges.”
What is UK Visa?
